Bonetti Children's Room Reaches World Record Attendance in Celebrating Week of the Young Child

BEING A YOUNG CHILD – Storyteller Julie Pasqual tops her head with her ‘rain hat’ – one of many stories told in her very animated style. Ms. Pasqual, known for her dance-like moves and absurdly funny storylines, entertained 117 people – 53 adults and 64 children, a record crowd! – at the Main Library’s Bonetti Children’s Room of the Jersey City Free Public Library on Wednesday, April 9, 2014, in celebration of the Week of the Young Child™, which is sponsored annually by the National Association for the Education of Young Children and exists to shed light on the needs of young children and their families, and to recognize the early childhood programs and services that meet those needs. The Week of the Young Child™ is celebrated from April 6-12 this year.
